Theme day -- New Orleans street art

Today is theme day on the City Daily Photo blogs. The Theme is grafitti/street art. More than 144 different blogs are participating.

Above is a unique "street art" in New Orleans that is rapidly disappearing as street signs are replaced. Katrina blew thousands of street signs away making it hard to find your way around. So residents started taking it upon themselves to get guide signs up. Some of the signs were just painted on cardboard. Others were more creative and more colorful. This is a good example.

Hi Steve, it's quite creative and a nice solution to counter the effects of Katrina. I've been thinking of getting back to New Orleans, but always a bit concerned to have a big disappointment...The last two houses you posted are beautiful, and the picture of your grandson looks great!Have a great weekend!Gil

Great photo of a good solution to a real problem. I remember a wonderful mural on of a jazz group on the side of a building in NO. My sense is that it was in the area near Notre Dame and St. Peters close to the river.
